New Mail Basic
Welcome to our Yahoo Basic Mail feedback forum! This is a place for you to help shape the new Yahoo Basic Mail experience. We review the most popular, feasible ideas from this forum to make positive changes to your Yahoo Mail.
Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

Links in Signature
I used to have links in my signature and now the links have become inactive and there's no way to edit them to re-do the links. Bring back ink functionality in signatures.

Bring back the preview window
I don't want to have to open every email to read it, especially if it is likely spam or junk.

Having to click to advance pages of email is terrible. The new interface is not user friendly and has become more like ancient mail
Get rid of only 20 e-mails "per page" and have it scroll like it did before. Mail also nolonger auto-refreshes and i'm constantly refreshing the page manually to see new e-mails. Neither of these items are improvements - they make the yahoo mail experience worse.

Harder to switch between accounts.
Previously, you could much easier switch between accounts. You could go to the upper right corner and there would be a dropdown option. It no longer exists. You must now go to the main Yahoo site and switch. Very annoying.

Accidental bulk mail removal
If you accidently fail to click on any email, yahoo mail calls it bulk mail removal. NO. IT IS SIMPLY A MISTAKE that I clicked on something but it didn't register. Sure there is a prompt asking if you want to remove all 3000 emails, but it is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE idea. Human mind has multiple thoughts and it accidently clicks yes because for sure I was trying to remove 1 particular email not all 3000 in my mailbox. Just GET RID of it. I've already been bitten by it once.
Add a separate bulk removal icon.

Emails flip back to top of the list
When I'm looking at my emails any action, reading then closing, deleting etc,, causes the list to flip back to the top of page one. Why is that? Why can't I just stay where I was when I read/deleted the mail? And why do there have to be pages? Does anyone at Yahoo read these comments? Where can I read the responses? Where can I read the reasons for the changes in format?

get rid of right panel that opens when one searches in Yahoo Plus
dunno why anyone thought that I need to see a panel when I search for an email that tells me how long I have been corresponding with someone, how many emails I've sent and what the subject was in the first email. How is any of this information remotely useful? I used to work as an human factors engineer for Boeing and this is pretty much the same as a pilot opening a chart and a panel displaying telling him/her how many times they have flown to that airport and when the first time was. Point of all of this…

Open attachments
I would prefer to open attachments sent to me without saving them first, let me open them first then allow me to decide if I want to download and save them or not.

Search Mail by Date
Search Mail by date/ month/ year will be a great help as some people may have important / private mails where there are no subjects or have forgotten the sender name/ mail

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

why did you get rid of the dropdown box options??
the old system allowed you to right-click on checked item and do the selection. now, we have to check the item(s), go to the top of the account to the "actions" box, then click on GO. SO MANY MORE STEPS!!! this is not efficient at all. guess it is time to get rid of Yahoo and move on to other email options.

Restore functionality to sort by Sender within a folder.
I noticed today that I can no longer sort email messages within a folder by Sender. This is an important way to find and manage emails, since the Search function isn't working very well.
